Character Name: Steven Quartz Universe
Canon: Steven Universe
Original Application: https://watermelogisty.dreamwidth.org/486.html#cutid1
Current canon point: Episode 70, "Catch and Release".
Updating to: Episode 78, "Log Date 7 15 2"

Personality: While Steven continues to be the same sweet, patient, excitable, hardworking gem/human child as stated in the original application, there's some notable changes between both canon points: while still surrounded by many who love him, he continues to show feelings of not belonging to either the human or Gem worlds. He really speak of those feelings, but shows signs of it continuing to grow into a bigger personal issue.
Steven has also had his trust tested by someone else, someone he believed could be better than how they once were, only to have his trust broken, causing him to blame himself for being naive, and learning that not everyone deserves his trust and patience. While that doesn't exactly turn him into a mistrusting person, he still learned an important, character-building lesson.

Abilities: Shape-shifting: Steven seems to have a slightly better grasp of his shape shifting abilities at this point, though not by much. He is, in the very least, able to stretch out his body (he does so while attempting to make himself look older), but it strains him, and the long period of times (a few hours, by the look of it) cause him to shrink all the way back to how he was as an infant - while the change seems mental too, it might have been a mixture of his body reverting to a physically smaller form, and his age fluctuation powers playing a part due to his feelings during that episode.

Age fluctuation/Inability to age: While Steven's physical age can shift uncontrollably according to his mental state, it is also noted that Steven stopped aging normally when he was 8, which gives him a much younger appearance than his real age. One can assume that Steven may never age like a regular human, as Gems simply don't. But it's still difficult to tell, since by the end of the "Steven's Birthday" episode, he seems to begin to show signs of puberty.
